Research Notes

He does not appear to have used the name Ladurantaye in life, it is only used by his sons after his death on their marriages.

The family is all over the map from one baptism to the next, and he is listed as a day labourer on funeral record, so may have been itinerant worker. His son Joseph's baptism states he is resident of Grondines. His son François baptism lists him as a fisherman, resident of that parish (La Malbaie). His daughter Marguerite's baptisms lists him as a voyageur of that parish (Yamaska). Jean Olivier's baptism only states residence in that parish (St-Paul-de-Lavaltrie). Étienne's baptism has both parents being journalliers (day labourers) in that parish (Maskinongé).

The name is Gaouette or Gargouette and variations in spelling, it actually still exists as Gaouette, although fairly rare. Not Caouette.

Possible bapt.: François Cargouet, 13 octobre 1788 né du matin au village du Cosquer, fils de Louis Cargouet et de alannette Le Louedec Archives départementales du Morbihan, Malguénac, BMS 1777-1792 folio 248/336 haut de page gauche

Geneanet

Selon lui, François est cité présent à la sépulture de son père le 21 septembre 1817 Archives départementales du Morbihan, Malguénac, table décennale 1813-1822 folio 19/25

Louis Cargouet décédé 21 septembre 1817 âgé de 72 ans, fils François cité présent. Archives départementales du Morbihan, Malguénac, NMD 1717, folio 10/14

Il aurait fallu que François voyage en France entre la naissance de François en 1815 et celle de Marguerite le 6 novembre 1818. Est-ce que les navires faisaient le voyage en hiver alors? Louis Cargouet cité décède en septembre 1817. François aurait dû être de retour au pays au moins en février 1818.
